Forest Hideout - Animation Preview & Update !

Hi ! As usual, apologies for a long month without news. I had a lot of personal, professional, and familial issues, but most of them have been dealth with.

Because of the delays, I present to you exceptionally, the latest animation. There will be multiple camera angles this time.

Note that the facial expressions and movements will change, but before this I need to finish the audio so I can match the expressions and movements to the audio.

This animation is much more advanced in terms of acrobatics (hehe) and it also allowed me to find new bugs in Blender ! A new version will come out 29 March, with lots of bug fixes to Blender 3.5 which will greatly help with even new features to animation workflows.

Since working on a bigger project means less frequent posts, and I don't like to stay on one thing all the time, I will make small renders from time to time in order to fill the gaps while also exploring future ideas. I want to produce animations the most, but they also take the most time to be made. My Ellie rig can also simply use motion capture animations like mixamo, but I didn't have that much time to test it out during the productions. After I finish this animation, I will move onto the Forest Hideout comic.

I also plan to experiment a bit with ElevenLabs next month. It's powerful enough to be able to make dialogues allowing for more elaborated animations.

Aside from all that, the new 7900x CPU performs really well! I had to turn off ctrl+z feature in Blender most of the times because it too long to calculate, and now with DDR5 I can keep it on and have less than a second delay during undo feature.

I hope you like the animation so far. Always open for discussions and feedback.

Thank you again for your patience ! <3
